 All right. Well, this is Bruce at Bookmap. Welcome to the Bookmap Platform Details webinar. We'll go through the platform and what it's showing you and how to start to use it and any questions that you have will answer here as well. Risk disclaimer, trading equities in futures involves substantial risk of loss is not suitable for all investors past performance is not indicative of future results. See some new faces in here. So welcome and I'll show you some of the resources here at bookmap.com and how to get up and running if you're interested. And then once you there's a there's a 14-day trial period. Now once you are in trial, you'll have access as well to the advanced order flow webinars and those begin at 11 a.m. Eastern. So in about 28 minutes. And there's other resources. There's a educational course. As well. So the idea here is in the platform details, get familiar with the platform and then in the advanced webinars get to understand order flow and how to integrate that within your trading in those webinars. So those are for the current customers. They don't want to be bothered with the platform details. All right. So that's why we make the two distinctions. If you have any issues, you can always reach out to us at support at bookmap.com. Okay, and let's go to bookmap.com. You'll see explore members and free webinar. Obviously you signed up here for the free webinar. Click on explore. It just comes down to scrolls down to these intro videos. Maybe watch these if you haven't already. And then continue to scroll down. So about bookmap, what it is, the advantages that it gives you, the insights that it gives you. Some of our partners are here. We also connect to NASDAQ total view and with US equities. So that's a nice new feature that has been out for more than a few months now, but it's just an excellent data feed. Ask me if you want to look at some stocks. I'll be happy to show that because it gives you full depth of market. All right. So really nice feed and very reasonably priced as well. So anyway, you will need a data provider. Bookmap is a software platform. We are a true platform. You will need to connect it though with your data provider or your broker. We are not a data provider. So if you have, for example, IQ feed or CQG or Rhythmic or stage five offers all of those, I believe, or gain capital, you can connect bookmap via all of these different platforms as well as just data feeds. So we are a platform just like Ninja Trader. However, we also connect via the API in Ninja. So that's the same for a TT XTrader Pro as well as well as the Interactive Brokers Traders Workstation. All right. Okay, a little bit further down. This is where you'll find the pricing. In general, there's just bookmap basic. It's 49 per month. It's billed quarterly. You get a 14-day trial period with it. Now, the bookmap advanced version, it just includes a lot of the add-ons. One of them is the one-click trading here. Great feature. I'm actually going to demo that a bit later in the advanced webinar. Someone was asking about it. So I'm going to go through some of that in some detail. I think it's going to be a pretty slow day today due to the U.S. holiday. But order management is what we're going to cover in the advanced. All right. So any of you guys who are here and already customers just want to let you know. Okay. So that's one of the add-on features. The other ones are these add-on indicators. These are proprietary indicators that we developed that they're for understanding the order flow. Okay. It's not like your RSI or Stochastics or MACD type of indicators. It's looking for larger traders in the limit order book. Okay. We have an algo that I can identify that. We're also looking for order book imbalances or volume imbalances. There's an iceberg detector. Great new. Well, it's been out for a few months as well. It's really been enhanced to show the icebergs. We also have a new correlation tracker add-on indicator. Okay. Now, if you're a quant and you need special access to your own data or proprietary indicators that you can just click here to learn more about all of that and let us know. Okay. If you want to really know the details here, you can click on this link down here and it will show you the comparison chart of what the differences are between the versions. Okay. They're not different versions. It's just the different features that are added. Okay. All right. You can also follow us here on Twitter, up-to-date information. You can see the webinars here, for example, and then the different traders retweeted or we have, you can see some of the equities here and some of the futures as well. All right. So, take a look at some of that. Follow us if you like. Our YouTube page, you can go here and you can watch all of our different videos, features and components here, for example, and you might want to take a look at some of these if you're new here and get familiar with what book map, the user interface and what book map is displaying. Okay. Now, these order flow video snippets, very concise videos, a couple of minutes each. These go through order flow phenomena. Okay. And how book map displays that. And this is more or less what we cover in the advanced webinars. So, understanding the order flow. It's not about the platform. Well, it's about how the platform discovers this phenomena and displays it and then how to take advantage of it. Okay. A little bit further down, you can see our ProTrader webinar series from September. If you want to look at some of these videos here that cover, well, ProTraders cover how they use book map. Selected webinars, if you want some insight to what the advanced webinars look like, you can watch some of these recorded webinars here. All right. Okay. Well, let's jump in to book map and let's see what is it displaying. All right. So, for a lot of you new here to book map, this chart may look very, very unfamiliar to you. Okay. And it may look very complex. Let's just go one step at a time here. It's actually really simple, very objective data. Okay. What we're showing here with these, all these big dots that you see here is the volume. It's where the volume is taking place on the historical best bid and offer. There's no candlesticks here. There's no kind of derivative of price or time or volume. We're showing you the volume, where it's taking place. And as I continue on in the presentation, we'll show exactly what, I'll demo exactly what I'm describing here. We're also showing you the limit order book. So over here, these columns here are, is the dome, the depth of market. Okay. So if I zoom in here, let's just zoom in. Here's your depth of market. Okay. And then we're looking at the NQ, the NASDAQ E-mini. All right. Now we're all familiar with the dome, most of us. So we just take this data here and where this gets really interesting is we project it onto the chart. Okay. So now you can see the current dome as well as the historical dome. So what book map is showing you in general here is just historical best bid and offer, the volume, and then the evolution of the limit order book or the dome. Okay. So let's go through it in some detail. And just to make it familiar here, I'm going to turn on the candlesticks and we're going to turn everything else off, all right, including best bid and offer. Okay. Here is a five-minute candlestick chart. Okay. We can see the 930 open here, the move to the downside. We see pressure on both sides here in a candlestick. And then we see the, you know, a lot of volume comes in. Well, I don't know about volume, but a lot of price action and move to the upside, to the other side of the range, and then right back into the middle of the range. Now, the candlestick, you can start to read the pressure here. It's tricky. It's difficult. And why is that? Because we don't know a lot of data here. We don't know where the volume took place. We don't know what type it was. We don't know the details of really what unfolded here. We only know open, high, low, close of a five-minute period. And that's it. The rest of reading this information here is kind of like reading the tea leaves in your, in your tea cup. We really don't know, all right. So the, we do have a volume subchart and I can, I can turn that on here. And most of us have this view. So we understand that there is volume down here, but we don't know where the volume took place, how much, and what type it was. Okay. So we also are missing all sorts of data in here within microstructures. And it's a huge, huge, makes a huge difference here, understanding microstructure. Because the microstructure move, it all initiates there and will kind of a snowball or be extrapolated into the bigger event. Okay. And let's turn on the historical best bid and offer just to see that. Okay. And it's already helping quite a bit because we can already understand a lot of microstructural areas here because then we can just zoom into some of these areas here. All right. So let's zoom in here. Okay. And you know, we see that this kind of double bottom, bottom pattern here. All right. And then we can also see though, within that double bottom, we'll look at this breakdown to the downside here. A move back up. Okay. There's a little bit of structure where it broke down here. And then there's structure down below here. Okay. Now, for those of you in your volume profile, volume profile traders, any, any volume profile traders in the room here? Any of you guys look at volume profile? Let me know. Very interested to know. Okay. Yeah. You do Mario. Okay. This is going to work really well with, with your volume profile. All right. So you're going to note in these little microstructural areas, the cluster, you're going to note the volume cluster, the breakdown. And you're going to note right back into a little, the point of control of that volume. And then you see the breakout here. Okay. So we've broken out of this little structural area. We come back down, retest that area. Okay. A little bit of a deep pull back here. But it's support prices supported down here. All right. And we see the move to the upside and then look at this range here. Okay. We can see exactly what occurred here. It's just, we, this is where the move took place. Okay. And above all of this area here, we accepted. Okay. Look at the breakdown here. This is, we're going to find responsive virus here down in this area here. And you can see that we, we did not, this breakdown here right to the same area where we were earlier. All right. And it rejected. Okay. It did not accept down here. It rejected. And we went to the other side of the range here. Okay. This is all auction market theory. It's all right within book map here. And we're just getting a taste of it with the historical best bid and offer. That's it. Okay. So trying to understand the candles and open, high, low, close in context to all of that is not giving you much insight at all. Okay. So now let's turn on the volume. Okay. And we can see exactly where volume traded. All right. And let me, let me volume dots are a little, little big here. So let's just bring these down a little bit. All right. Okay. So now if we look at some of these areas, we can see exactly, we can answer the question exactly what traded and where and what kind of volume. Okay. Was it aggressive market buys or aggressive market sells? So let me, let me cover what we're displaying here in book map because you can see these pie charts that give you the overall delta of the volume. So for the example here, we see more aggressive buying than selling. But there's a lot of selling here as well. Okay. But let's, let's zoom into an area here and let's just take a look. All right. So nothing in particular. I'll just zoom right in. And what I want to show here is the historical best bid and offer. All right. So the best bid here is the green line. Best offer is the red line. Okay. Now here are the volume dots on historical best bid and offer. These are transactions that took place. Okay. And I can, I use the data tip tool hover over this area and it shows me exactly what traded here. Okay. I get the date, the time, what was on the ask here at this price level and the volume. And this was for a volume of one. Okay. Here's another one for a volume of one. All right. Bigger green dot over here as they lift the offer. You can see this was for a volume of, let's zoom in a little bit more and hover right over this area here. It's funny. It's not giving me. Okay. Volume of 11 here. All right. There you go. Okay. And so this green dot is an aggressive market buy order. And we consider it the aggressor because they cross the spread. They took liquidity off of the best offer. And the aggressive market sell order is a red dot. It took liquidity off of the best bid. Okay. Now we record every single event here. Okay. This is where we differ from other platforms. We have a complex event processing engine that can handle all of this data here. So we can zoom in and let me find an area that might be a little more interesting. Maybe let's see. Maybe this pullback here. Right. Because we're going to see initiated buying here pulling price up. Okay. In fact, we can see these little tests in these areas here of exhaustion and then the initiated buying begins here right outside of this little microstructural area. Okay. A little triple quadruple bottom here and then buyer step in. All right. So anyway, looking at the volume, we can zoom in and we can show you exactly what traded here. Now I have a little bit of lag with the best bid and offer here. Okay. That's because they come in via two different protocols. But you can see them lifting the offer here. All right. And as I continue to zoom in, look exactly what traded here. We have all of this data. We're down at mill or microsecond level. We can continue to zoom in. We can look at the nanosecond level here. I know exactly what happened here. Okay. Now we come from the HFT environment and book map originally began because the software was developed just proprietary for understanding where our algos were getting filled. Okay. We wanted to know that data and that detail and came up with this visualization tool and then thought this was pretty good idea for others and offered it here, offering it here to the retail market. Okay. Now we don't trade off of those micro level or nanosecond level areas. Okay. So you can see as I zoom back out, I have a book map has very smartly integrated or consolidated this data into one big dot you can hover over this area and it tells me this is for a volume of 69. And I know the majority of it is aggressive buying. There's some selling in here, but it's not that extensive. So if you want the details, you've got it. Okay. You can zoom in and see every single detail and you can see exactly how these markets trade. Okay. As we zoom back out, we get the overall shape of that volume because we don't trade off of those levels. Right. We want to understand in general what's going on in these areas. Right. So that's the volume in book map. Now let's get into that limit order book and what is showing you here. Okay. Nice breakdown here. And to understand the volume is very important. Okay. For those of you looking at volume profile, you know that. Okay. Understanding where traders are committed in and their activity. I mean, look at them like in this area here. You know, they hit the bid pretty hard. Okay. It initiated up here actually. We got a little bit of a pullback and then a move to the downside. Okay. But and understanding the volume is key. However, there's a whole other side of understanding what's going on in the market and the order flow. And that is through the limit order book. This is why we look at a dome. Okay. We want to understand where traders are lined up in the bid and the offer. Okay. And you can see that in the dome here. These are traders on the offer here lined up, providing liquidity here at these areas. Okay. And here they are on the bid. All right. Now, understanding the dome and the auction is very important because, you know, you want to see is an auction. The markets are auctions and we want to understand where the players are lined up to deal. It gives us a lot of insight. The problem with the dome is that it shows you only the current market activity. Okay. As soon as these numbers change, that data is gone. So what we do with book map is in this window here with the historical or this is current best bid and offer. Okay. And this is your last traded volume. What we show you is a graphical representation of these numbers. Okay. So let's turn on the heat map. Okay. So now you'll understand like a really that it's really not that complex. But what we're looking at here is in this window graphical representation of the liquidity. So 153 contracts up here at 71.5. All right. It's bright. It's bright white. Okay. High liquidity is painted white. Okay. A lighter shade or a little darker shade of gray is going to be a little less liquidity. Okay. If it's dark, there's very little liquidity. All right. That's what we're showing in book map. Okay. Now, where this gets really interesting is to the left of this vertical white line. Okay. We take this data and we record it and we transpose it on the chart historically. So now we see the volume, but we also see where they're lined up to trade. Okay. How they behaved in the auction previously. All right. So look at the striations here in the in the liquidity heat map. And you can see this is the adding and pulling of liquidity. Okay. We can hover over these areas and see over here where it says get the date, the time. And then on the ask, there's 55 contracts. As I scroll to the right, you can see that it's getting a little brighter in these areas here. Now we have 69, 74 contracts, etc. Okay. Now, where this, how this is helpful is to understand the behavior of this area. Okay. Do they have the intent to trade or was this fake liquidity? All right. Well, we can answer that question just by looking at this activity here. Okay. We can see that they started to pull those orders. They started to add in as price is coming up. That's showing pretty bearish behavior. Okay. They want, they want to trade is what it's showing as price is coming up, but then price starts to eke up a little bit further and they pull. So they did not have the intent to trade up here. Okay. In fact, we can start to read the behavior of some of these larger players. And if they're pulling liquidity, are they adding it up at higher levels? And it kind of looks like it. It looks like it's the same kind of actors here around this 69, 50 area, 70 area, and they're pulling and adding up here. So they don't want to be sellers here. They want to be sellers up in these areas now. Okay. For this microstructural area. Okay. And it's not that micro. I mean, we're looking at several minutes here, data. Okay. But it's showing that they don't, they're not that bearish. They want to be buyers or I'm sorry, they want to be sellers up in these areas. That's where they want to deal. And we have that context for you. All right. So that's how Bookmap can help you understand and read the auction within the traded volume. Okay. So for example, then this is what we cover some of the examples in the advanced order flow webinars, which we'll start in about four minutes, is look at the breakdown here. Okay. Look at where they're lining up to be sellers again. Okay. Pretty, we see this all the time. Right. This is where the sellers began. This is where they want to deal again right now. They want to add to their sell position where they initiated it up here. Okay. It's giving you really good insight to the intent of some of these, some of these traders. All right. Okay. Let me get to a few questions here. And let's see. There was another trader here. He wanted to go over some of the orders. I think we're going to cover that in the advanced. I don't see him in here. So yeah, I think we'll do that in the advanced. And all right. So questions here. Mario, CQG records the historical limit order book. Well, CQG doesn't, we do. And we display it for you. Okay. So when you open up your book map, you begin recording all of that data. Okay. Or you begin collecting it. Now you have the option to record it. You can see down here, this button, this red button is the record, the data button here. Okay. So yeah, I am recording my data. You can also record all of your trading activity. Okay. It's a great debriefing tool. So if you want to see exactly how your trading strategies are working and exactly where you got filled and what the market condition was, you have it down to the nanosecond or basically unlimited zoom. Let's see, Tyler. Could I supply the link for the advanced webinar? Tyler, if it's for those that are in trial and or current customers and you've been in here quite a bit. So not sure if you have access to those or not. You're in the trial. Okay. All right. Yeah. I'll give you the, I'll email you the link then. Okay. Okay. Yeah. No, I, you know, you know, we want to keep that distinction between the two. Those that are here for the first time and, you know, we're going through the basics here. I mean, just this idea here, we've gone through so many times and we already assume or we're already, we want to see if the traders are lining up here to deal on the sell side. Okay. And, you know, this kind of order flow analysis, we go through, you know, I'll go through the basics here with you guys now, but we'll go through it in detail. So like for example, look at them take, look at the buyers take these guys on right here. Okay. We just traded into this area and you can see the transactions that took place. Okay. So and we're also seeing maybe another, we'll read it, but like we may see if the buyers on the other hand, if they start providing high liquidity right underneath here, we may see a flip of that order book. They were here on the offer and they flipped to the bid side. These guys all down that broke down here in this area perhaps will get trapped and maybe we'll see a move to the other side of the range here. Okay. This is some of the things that we'll cover in the advanced. All right. All right guys, thanks for coming and we'll see you in the advanced if you guys are in trial or current customers. Thanks.
